Re: Silicon Policy - What exactly constitutes "laws that restrict a silicon's freedom or control its behavior"?

A is cleaner and still leaves a lot of freedom if an AI picks an interpretation and sticks to it. In the example with B, that law still implies a need for the AI to be there and active to be able to prevent human harm. It should not be considered purged. Something like "THERE ARE 7 HUNGRY MACAB...
